Emergency Management

The mission of the Emergency Management Department is to protect the lives and property of the residents and visitors of the City of Yukon by insuring mitigation of, preparation for, response to, and recovery from the effects of natural and man-made disasters, as well as national security concerns consistent with the resources provided.

Disasters happen everywhere. Although we cannot control forces of nature or eliminate human error, we can prepare to meet disasters and mitigate their impact, respond faster, and better protect human life and property. The City of Yukon Emergency Management Department strives to provide a prepared and capable emergency management program for the city through training, community education, and preparedness by providing information and education to the general public, area emergency responders, and volunteers.

Everyone, everywhere, should know how to protect themselves in an earthquake. Even if earthquakes are rare where you live, they may happen where you or your family travel.
The Great ShakeOut is an annual opportunity for people in homes, schools, and organizations to practice what to do during earthquakes, and to improve preparedness. There are many ways for individuals, businesses, schools, faith-based organizations, community, government agencies, and others to participate in the ShakeOut
